Historic Coverlet c. 1936

"Historic Coverlet" is a coverlet created by Ruth M. Barnes, circa 1936. The coverlet features an eagle, a common symbol of American patriotism, in the center of the piece. It is surrounded by a chain-like border and stars, both in red and white, against a deep blue background. The coverlet's design is reminiscent of traditional American folk art, with its use of simple geometric shapes and bold colors. The piece is a testament to the enduring power of American symbolism and craftsmanship.
